Openmod meets USA 2023
November 13, 2023Organising the largest open energy modelling conference in North America
Partner: Stanford University
In November 2023, the Open Energy Transition (OET) team successfully co-organized the "openmod-meets-usa-2023" workshop at Stanford University. Held in collaboration with Stanford's Bits & Watts Initiative, this event reignited the passion for open energy modelling, a domain where openmod has been a pioneering grassroots movement. After previous successes in Vienna and a hiatus since NREL's 2019 session in the USA, OET stepped up to fill the gap.
Attendees, ranging from seasoned energy experts to newcomers, were offered a platform that hosted insightful sessions, engaging talks, and hands-on experiences. Highlights included lightning talks, live tech demos, breakout sessions, and a networking platform unlike any other. This free event not only upheld openmod's tradition but also showcased OET's commitment to advancing energy planning and collaborative innovation.
